Sweeet man, how do you like it?

 

nice car...clean install

 

Feels awsome!!! i hit full boost around 3.8k but hey im only boosting .3 bar less than 5 lbs? I think im running to rich at the top doesnt have as much pep.
im have an itch and turn the boost up.....its my daily driver so i gotta wait till hondata.

 

sweet dude, hey youre kinda standing on your engine, hehe. I like the black intercooler, looks clean like that.

 

hahah tell curtis its finally in!! i had this kit since february

 

thanks man
lol i stood on it for a sec then hopped off- like i tamed the beast. it was a long instal

 

what kind of intercooler is that, is it painted or powdercoated??? it looks awesome

nice setup

artturbo

 

looks great! i like the intercooler. did you spraypainted it or what?

 

What he says ^, and if you painted it, can that reduce the performance of its ability to cool down?

 

u did a great job on the intercooler! fill us in on how u did that.

Ok the IC is a Greddy type 24...(the big one) basically had to chop up the bumper support.

I painted the IC with ULTRA flat black Krylon spray paint.
I first cover the fins with a card board so only the end tanks and body of the IC was exposed. I did that because i knew i would be putting more paint on the body than the fins itslef.

Once the body was done, i misted the fins with the same paint, spraying as far as possible. You cant see it from the pictures but the fins are barely painted.

As far as efficency goes when painting the IC, there has been so many debates about this. Ive been running may car hard after the break in and when i touch the IC its steel cold. SO i dont know...i havent had any problems with it and know dozens of people with it painted also...

here are some pix- i'll try to get one with my bumper on during the day.

enjoy....

Notice how i didnt paint the opening of the IC...i figured it was going to be covered up by the couplings anyways.

 

Rob its the best feeling...it makes me enjoy my car awhole lot more

 

damn thats another thats done..and im still hanging
but props!! looks damn good specially the black i/c!!
got any pics with the bumper on?

 

You car is soooo nice!!
do you have any pics of the IC with the bumper on? I want to see, or should I say cant see, what it looks like.

looks sweet man, really like the ic painted!! good luck, eric

 

looks killer -- congratulations!! If you need anything dont hesitate to ask!

 

Is the IC piping also GReddy??
BTW looks good

 

looks good marc!!

damn i didn't know you had such a puny wg spring i would have let you use my old wg with a .45 bar spring. oh well, just make a manual boost controller

so i take it you use 2 slimline fans right? if you did, i should have done that instead of buying the dual fans which didn't fit ... grrrr.

btw, what kind of guages are those?

 

cramerox, that is sweet man. glad u got it done.


btw, how long did you break in the car for?

and what kinda intercooler piping did you use? can't you run like 6-7 psi w/ that setup? you are probably running rich w/ just that amount of boost.

damn... I love his car. Its the perfect sleeper with the black intercooler. You don't even notice the intercooler unless you knew the war was turboed and was looking for the intercooler

 

Good job Welcome to the darkside.
I your car. DROOOL

 

wow nicely done

Where in the bay area are your from?

 

Looks good man, let us know how the IC painting works out in the long run. I've got a Type 24 as well and was considering painting it. I talked to people at HKS-USA and Spearco, they both said that a light mist of paint on the fins would be ok. Anodizing would be ok too. Maybe I'm just paranoid but when guys follow my wife around asking about the turbo it kinda freaks me out. Time to go incognito.
